Fry the onions in the cooking juices, then remove from the heat and sprinkle over the ground paprika. Pour over a little water and add the vegetables. Simmer until cooked, then add the sour cream and bring to the boil again.

Place the pieces of fish in the sauce and simmer for about 15 minutes, gently tilting the pot from side to side occasionally. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Carefully remove the fish from the sauce. Add the hot pasta to the vegetables. Place in a heatproof dish, and arrange the pieces of fish on top. Heat through in a preheated oven (300 °F/150 °C). Garnish with sliced tomatoes and bell peppers.
